{mosimage}Episode #13,169----Lucinda, Faith and Natalie are entranced by a dollhouse. As they return from seeing a performance of The Nutcracker, they stroll through Olde Town and are taken by this dollhouse in a store window. As they gaze upon the toy home, the camera zooms in and the characters come alive.

What’s wonderfully magical is that the dollhouse figurines possess more than a passing resemblance to the denizens of Oakdale. In this very special Christmas episode, Oakdale's stories are represented by the lives of the dolls. Lucinda is a cook. Margo a servant. Lily is the perfect “Christmas card mother,” while Barbara is poor and tattered looking.
